Pitchoff Mountain, a 3,600-foot peak in New York’s Adirondacks opposite Cascade Mountain along Route 73, is defined by a long ridge with two high points rather than a single dominant summit. Its higher summit is wooded and viewless, while the northern summit, at 3,323 feet, offers sweeping 360-degree views of the Cascade Lakes, nearby High Peaks, and, in clear weather, Vermont’s Green Mountains. A 5.2-mile trail traverses the mountain between two points on Route 73, making it a varied hike. Pitchoff is especially valued for the contrast between its enclosed high point and its dramatic open ledges.
